Unemployed Tuition Waiver Program

Eligible unemployed persons interested in attending Winter/Summer Session are required to meet with a representative of the Office of Summer and Winter Sessions on the Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday (December 21, 22, or 23) immediately preceding the beginning of the term in which the course is conducted. Registration on prior or subsequent dates will not be honored. Registration is on a space availability basis only.

Any eligible student who registers without securing approval from the Office of Summer and Winter Sessions will be denied enrollment under the Workforce Program. Such students will be held responsible for payment of all tuition and fees. Students ARE NOT ALLOWED to add OR change selections after initial registration; students may however drop courses in accordance with the posted deadlines (see Winter or Summer Session calendar).
